He’s truly someone worth befriending...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out a jade slip and engraved the sea chart onto it with his Divine Sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Xiao, please take this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luoyue Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the cave residence, Su Ye, dressed in a black robe, had a flicker in his eyes as he fell into thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole \"using a Secret Technique\" story was, of course, something he had just made up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Defeating a Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator while only at the Mid-stage, without even shedding a drop of blood? That would have been a bit too outrageous.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Su Ye had no regrets about revealing his strength and severely injuring Li Hengyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s attitude was vile.
